Dear friends:
I installed Sun's Java manually by downloading their Red Hat RPM. I followed instructions and the install came off fine (Done!), but when I try to play it, it won't work. I imagine that I probably need to create a symbolic link to the plugin. Here is the info:
[sher@localhost ~]$ whereis java java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/lib/java /usr/share/java [sher@localhost ~]$
Could you please help me by suggesting the command and link for this?
Thank you so much.

Benjamin,
I have done that before (just installed the rpm), and it worked without hassle.
Well, you may try to configure it with:
alternatives --config java
If this doesn't solve, there's an entry in the CentOS Wiki that helps setting up Java.

If you cant get java to work in firefox follow these steps:
Download the Sun Java rpm from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
cd /usr/java
cp /path/to/jre-[version]-linux-i586-rpm.bin .
chmod a+x jre-[version]-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./jre-[version]-linux-i586-rpm.bin
rpm -ivh jre-[version]-linux-i586.rpm
cd /usr/lib/firefox-[version]/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre[version]/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
